EVERETT, Wash. — An Everett police officer has left the hospital after being shot in the head Wednesday following an attempted robbery.
Officer Chad House was wheeled out of the hospital, where he was met by other officers and employees, who all cheered his release and wished him well, according to a media release from the Everett Police Department.
“We are all so pleased to see Officer House released from the hospital today,” said Everett police chief Dan Templeman. “The excellent first aid administered on scene by his fellow officers yesterday morning, combined with the outstanding care he received by the staff at Providence Medical Center, all played a role in his quick release from the hospital. We look forward to Officer House taking the time he needs to recover from his injuries and look forward to welcoming him back to his crew and community when he’s ready.”
At around 3:10 a.m., Everett Police were called to reports of an armed robbery in the 7600 block of Evergreen Way near a Safeway store. Officers began searching for four suspects who had fled.
